AMEP's Artist Canvas is 100% cotton duck and double primed with an acid-free titanium gesso. The canvas is stretched and back stapled to a solid kiln dried wood frame featuring a .67" profile. The assembly includes a handmade process specially designed to decrease the friction between the brush and the canvas so the canvas is softer for the brush. With a finished weight of 12 oz., this heavy bodied canvas supports most techniques making it a preferred all-purpose canvas.
